For FIFA tickets, the usual rule is that you can list them for resale or transfer up until 1 hour before kick-off on FIFA’s official platform, though FIFA also advises withdrawing a resale listing at least 1 day before the match if you plan to use the ticket yourself.

Practical timing

  • Resale: generally allowed until 1 hour before the match starts.
  • Transfer: official FIFA ticket transfers are handled inside the ticketing account, and the exact cutoff can vary by event, but FIFA’s current resale/transfer guidance for World Cup tickets points to the same late cutoff window.
  • Best practice: don’t wait until the last minute if you might need to cancel the listing, because FIFA warns that delays close to match time can cause problems.

Important caveat

The exact deadline can differ by tournament and ticket type, so the safest answer is to check the rules for your specific FIFA event or match category.

TL;DR: usually up to 1 hour before the match , but withdraw earlier if you want to keep the ticket for yourself.
